Request re. attachments



Hello Everyone,
Given the problems that have arisen because of the
"Love Bug" worm and its clones, I would like to
ask members to avoid sending attachments with
their postings at least until the bug and its
imitations have run their course. I would also
advise members not to open any attachments they
may receive through the list, especially if they
are using Microsoft Outlook. From what I hear the
latest bug variation is extremely destructive
(perhaps all the info on a hard drive); goes under
a number of aliases (not just "I Love You"); and,
like other worms, can be spread without a sender's
knowledge. Please feel free to address any
concerns you might have to me, and I apologize for
any inconvenience this may cause.
